Could care less. I am one of the neanderthals without a smart phone. I barely use my cell phone, I have a minutes plan and I doubt that I am burning through those, and fail to see the need for a smartphone. I have the internet at work and home. When I am out with my friends or family, I don't feel the need to be online. If I want to check on a score or something, I can ask someone with a smartphone to do it for me or I wait until I get home.

I really don't get the need for a cell phone that is almost as big as an e-reader. Why do I want a phone that is an inch smaller then the Kobo Glo?

Maybe Amazon is on to something, they should offer phone service with the 6 inch PW2. Make it 4G and sell a cell phone plan with it. Now that would be innovative!
